There is an annoying bug that sometimes occurs in the Windows version of MAMP.
Specifically, a message like this shows up at the bottom of your pages,
Notice: ob_end_flush(): failed to send buffer of zlib output compression (1) ..
You can fix the bug by following these steps:
- find the version of PHP you’re using
(in the settings or preferences of MAMP), - then go into the MAMP/conf/phpVersionNumber
(ie inside the MAMP folder on your hard drive) - open the file php.ini
- Search for zlib.output_compression
- If it’s On, change it to Off
- Then restart the servers and reload the page you saw the error on.
